    Tony Snow dead at 53....

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25649744 On a professional level, many people may have differences of opinion of how he performed his duties for both of the Bush Administrations and his work on Fox and CNN. But, for some reason, I really liked the alternate approach of journalism that he applied...

    ATI Gunstocks...worth a look/see?

    I was pilfering through my latest Shooting Times mag and stumbled over the ad for ATI gunstocks. I'm casually looking around for an accurate, yet fun .22 rifle to toy around. Their fiber force stocks looked interesting and cheap to boot. What are y'alls opinion of the company? Anybody have...

    Dick Morris Dem Ticket Prediction: Obama/Richardson...

    So, what's your take on this possible scenario? Would this help garner a broader support due to Richardson's loyalty to the Hispanic communities? (I mean this statement in no way to be derogatory) Dick Morris has been a close advisor to the Clinton Administration during his presidency. Some...

    6.2gr. Power Pistol pushing 115gr. FMJ...What are your thoughts?

    The load data on Alliant Powder's site states 6.7gr for Power Pistol on a 115gr. FMJ at 1.120". I started down to about 6.2gr. It really packed a punch. Does anybody think I could drop .2-.4gr and still have good cycling? I know it's to each his own especially on the gun. But, I'm wondering if I...

    Rechargeable 123A Batteries for Surefire?

    My wife and I recently bought Surefires. We use them on a normal basis. My thoughts were to find a reputable brand of rechargeable batteries and charger for them instead of going through the lithiums like mad. Any suggestions of places to buy and brands to consider? I've poked around some...

    Sounds like a Fanny Pack to me...

    My wife wants a form of storage pouch for ammo to keep on herself. We have Randy Cain's handgun course coming up in a couple of weeks. We already have extra mags. But, we don't have time during session to run back and reload. I use cargo shorts and pile up the ammo in the pockets. She isn't so...

    Hornady Lock 'N' Load common issues...still need help.

    I just started to use my Hornady Lock 'N' Load for .40SW. At first, all was going well. 1. Then as time goes on, the loaded round would bind between the ejector wire and shellholder putting a monkey wrench in the entire process. If I bend the wire to engage the case and move it out of its...

    Born in America, but NOT guaranteed citizenship?

    I have a gentleman's bet with a fellow coworker. The argument was even though you're born in America, doesn't necessarily guarantee citizenship. The debate was sparked during the discussion of an aquaintance stated he was born in San Diego. Served his country. Contributed to society. However...

    Well, I'll be! Looked for some iron, STILL bought plastic...

    I'm going to have to jump on the bandwagon of members sharing their excitement getting new guns... I started my shopping for another 9mm several months, if not almost a year ago. Began homing in on an AR-24 from Armalite. Shot both the compact and full size variants and really liked the way it...

    FEG PA-63 Pistol questions...

    I've come across an interesting pistol that the Hungarian military police supposedly use(d). It's a FEG PA-63 model chambered in 9x18. Apparently, it's based on Walther's design. I found it on www.jgsales.com while researching for other firearms. Pretty cheap price for a functioning gun, I...

    Mosin Nagant 91/30. Hex or round receiver preferred?

    I'm ready to start my search for a Mosin Nagant. I already have a Finn M44 made by Sako in 1970. Now I'm ready for an older one. The older in good condition, the better for my taste in collection. Classic Arms has some in stock with accys. for what seems like a decent price. Do you prefer the...

    War Stories....

    I'd like to initiate a request for a new forum to be generated: War Stories. I believe there are many members here that are veterans of the military. Some here haven't had the chance to serve. I have had this idea in my head to find a way to help fill the gap between the hav's and have not's...

    Who should have more power: State or Federal Government?

    Wife and I were on our way home yesterday and the discussion of powers of the government came up. She thinks the States should have more power to govern the people than the Federal level. I agree to a general extent. That's the broad, general question I have.... What conditions do each have the...

    Can't believe it...went looking for an AR-24....now considering an HK P30...

    Wife and I went to Sheel's on my first day off in a month to spend some OT money. I've been eyeballing an AR-24. We've both fired the compact and full size versions and really like how they handled. It definitely was a dream to shoot. Trigger wasn't half bad. Price was a little up there, but I...

    Huckabee Concedes...

    No surprise, but still a bit bummed. I hoped for a micracle that he would take the nomination. However, seeing the numbers the past few weeks provided a clearer look into the crystal ball. My thoughts are: 1. Will he be invited to be McCain's running mate? 2. Will he drop off to no-man's land...

    Who wants to meet up for training by Randy Cain in Michigan?

    My wife and I went to Randy Cain's Tactical Handgun 101 course last year. By all means, it was hardly your typical beginners' course, yet it was... A person that barely knows how to load their pistol to a LE officer with 15yrs experience can attend the same class together and there won't be a...

    A renewed sense of faith??

    My sob story in a nutshell goes like this: I buy an item here from a fellow member. Received said product. Product wasn't as described. Tried to contact member. Never heard from again. Other fellow members stated similar story from said seller. My trust and faith in fellow gunowners tainted. My...

    Anybody have input on this book?

    I saw Larry Sabato briefly on TV the other day. He has a book titled "A More Perfect Constitution". Anybody read this book or know much about him? I'm deep into reading "The Spoils of Time" by C.V. Wedgewood and "1776" by David McCulloch. Of course, I'm an article reader at best due to my...
